v2.Chapter 184 (1/2)
The cabinet finally agreed that the Ministry of punishment and Dali temple would jointly hear the important case.
Because the second prince was his Majesty's legitimate son, he joined a joint trial of the third division of the Zongren government, and Gu huaijiang supervised the case as a high-ranking minister.
In order to avoid suspicion, Gu huaijiang handed over the case to Gu Shubai for supervision, which also blocked the public.
Gu Shubai's first task is to see the second prince in person.
”The second prince was put in the prison of zongrenfu. After the Ministry of punishment and Dali Temple joined the joint trial, they tried several times, and all the confessions were here. Why did the elder brother go to see him in person? ”
There are a lot of Confessions on the case. Under careful examination, I don't know how many times the second prince has been interrogated. Each confession is half as high as Yufu.
When Gu Shubai checked the confession, she sat on the side and looked at it together, almost reciting the second prince's words.
As a matter of fact, these confessions were repeated. His arrow was pointing at the wild boar. He didn't know why he shot his majesty and killed him with one arrow. Until he was put in prison, he was confused.
These words did not help to examine the case, the second prince may not know as much as they did.
Gu Shubai didn't think so. ”The second prince is the party. Although he is not smart, it's not stupid to fight with the big prince for so many years, is it? Do you think that when he was wrongly accused of killing his father and king, he really didn't have any sense of survival for his own situation? ”
He picked up a confession and said with a smile: ”I'm afraid the second prince knows that the Ministry of punishment, Dali temple, zongrenfu, and those who interrogate him have the eldest prince, so he dare not say something to them.”
”Who is the person of the prince among the three divisions?”
Yufu is a daughter. She can't go to the court and doesn't know the courtiers. Besides, as soon as her majesty dies, the situation in the court changes, and most of those who originally stood in the camp have changed.
More than half of the courtiers more or less supported the eldest prince and thought that he was the most likely candidate to become the new king, so they flattered him in advance.
Now who supports the great prince among the three divisions can't even see Gu Shubai clearly.
He shook his head. ”People don't carve the five characters of the eldest prince on their heads. Of course we don't know. The second prince is in the middle. He always knows something. So the best way is for us to ask him. The people in the house of marquis Gu have always been neutral. Thanks to his father's full support, the second prince can not believe others, but he will believe us. ”
Yu Fu said: ”I'll go with my elder brother. Although I didn't like the second prince very much before, I have the name of brother and sister. He seemed to like me and gave me a lot of valuable gifts. I'll go with you. Maybe he'd rather talk. ”
Gu Shubai
Yufu always seems to be puzzled whether other people like her as a brother or an ordinary man.
If it had not been for Yan Shuo's heart telling with her on the wedding day, she would not have understood that Yan Shuo liked her.
That's all.
Gu Shubai didn't say anything. When they went to the prison of zongrenfu, the warder of the guard had already received the imperial edict from the cabinet and let them go immediately.
The prison of zongrenfu is different from that of other places, because the prisoners are all the royal families who have made mistakes. Even the cells are clean and simple. The second prince's cell is more like an ordinary family's house.
Only the heavy iron door can show that this is a heavily guarded cell.
There is a pull-out window above the prison door, which is usually used by prison guards to deliver food. Gu Shubai looks inside through the window, and the second prince is half sitting on the bed in a daze.
The position of the window is too high, Yu Fu can't see the inside, so he simply let Yu Fu open the prison door.
The second prince finally had a reaction and looked at the door. When he saw Gu Shubai and Yu Fu, his eyes lit up.
Gu Shubai looked at the jailer behind him, ”you step down first, I have something to ask the second prince alone.”
”Yes, the prince and the princess have something to say. The little one is waiting at the end of the corridor.”
